Three things about Jerry
Think you know all about the man behind the voice? How about these trivia nuggets...
1. Besides being a narrator and voice actor, Jerry pays his bills as a corporate filmmaker. It's how he got into the narration business in the first place.
2. Jerry and his wife Beth released a feature film a few years ago, called "Release The Funny". It's a collection of ten short comedies that have been selected to over a dozen film festivals across the country. You can see them all on their Vimeo page.
3. Jerry was lactose intolerant for several years, but then decided he wanted to eat pizza again, so he stopped being lactose intolerant (his stomach has not gotten the memo).
